Hell Is Other Parents: And Other Tales of Maternal Combustion by Deborah Copaken Kogan224 pages
Completed 6/27/10
A cute summer read, this combination reflection and motherhood drama memoir read easily. A former war photographer, Kogan is now the mother of 3 young children; an actor son, a middle daughter struggling to find her place, and a late-in-life toddler. Throughout the book, Kogan entertains with heartfelt stories of her everyday life, and occasionally we get a glimpse into her past (my favorite part).
I currently have on order Kogan's first book; not because her writing so impressed me, but because I am intrigued by this woman's life - a life I would give my left arm to lead.
Dotted with both humor and sadness, this book is a good beach read for those of us who don't go for murder mysteries or romances.
